In the city of Beijing in November, as the temperature gradually turns cold, people have already put on heavy clothes, and Fu Cha'a, who was hired by the new government as a policeman, is constantly patrolling the area under his jurisdiction with his companions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the two of them were in a hurry, Fu Cha'a frowned unconsciously when he saw that on the street not far away, several people were nodding and saying something around a man in a robe and a horse coat.

It's not that the behavior of a few people makes Fu Cha'a feel that it is an eyesore, but because of the origin of the banner man, Fu Cha'a has some doubts in his heart after recognizing the identity of the man in the robe and horse coat.

You must know that the current life of the flag people is no longer what it was when the Qing Dynasty was at its peak. After Emperor Xuantong announced his abdication, although the new government promised to pay salaries for the Eight Banners in the preferential treatment regulations, because of Beiyang's own financial difficulties, the bannermen had not received their salaries for a long time. These uncles are usually used to being lascivious, all of them are lazy to do, plus they have long lost the family business accumulated by their ancestors, and now, except for a few princes and nobles, the vast majority of ordinary flag people, including most of the yellow and red belts, have lived a worse and worse life, and they are becoming more and more difficult.

But in the past few days, not only has this master become more expensive again, but also several "yellow belts" and "red belts" who were extremely downtrodden before. Moreover, Fu Cha'a also found that these people not only spend lavishly now, but also often go to those lazy people among the banner people, gather in groups of three or five, and mutter something.

Although the reason is not clear, the atmosphere in the entire Beijing city in the past few days has made Fu Cha'a feel very strange.

In fact, this kind of weird feeling is not only Fu Cha'a, but many people have it at this time, even Tang Jingming, who went home to visit relatives and just walked into Beijing.

The Tang family compound is an ancient mansion, and after hundreds of years of wind and rain, the doors and windows are a little rotten. Although the paint is peeling off and can no longer see its original face, the brick and stone houses are still strong, the yard is paved with blue bricks, there are halls, wooden buildings, corridors, thick rockeries and heavy openwork doors and windows.

After two years away from home, after several lives and deaths, standing in front of his house again at this moment, Tang Jingming suddenly felt more timid about his hometown. However, before he could sigh with emotion, the maid guarding the door of the mansion had already found his own eldest young master dressed in grass green military uniform.

I saw that this person was overjoyed, and while running inside, he shouted loudly: "Big young master? It's the eldest young master who is back. Sir, madam, the eldest young master is back. ”

Tang Jingming's father, Tang Mengxuan, was in his fifties, wearing a cyan Hangzhou textile gown, with a mille-feuille dress and cloth shoes on his feet. At this moment, Tang Mengxuan, who was holding an old thread-bound book and reading it, could no longer maintain the indifference in his heart after hearing the news that his eldest son suddenly came home.

Two years ago, although her son ran away from home to join the army after being negative, as a father, she never let go of her worries about her son.

It's just that when Tang Mengxuan walked out of the house, the courtyard was already in chaos. Several servants stood beside them, Mrs. Tian wiped her tears while holding Tang Jingming's hand, and her second son Tang Jinghui and daughter Tang Jingyue also surrounded their eldest brother, and their joy was overflowing. Although Tang Mengxuan was about to step forward to speak, after seeing the outfit on Tang Jingming's body, he couldn't help but show a cold look on his face again.

Old man Tang's political views and principles of doing things are all pursuing the golden mean, he hates the political darkness and corrupt dictatorship of the previous Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang government, and in turn has a lot of complaints about the Communist Party that is already about to sit firmly in the world.

Tang Jingming saw the change in his father's face, and naturally knew what he was thinking, and when he saw this situation, he didn't come forward to talk. Fortunately, Tian recognized his master's temper, and hurriedly dragged his eldest son into the room.

Although the contradiction between the father and son has been blocked for the time being, no one in the family knows that this is just a moment of tranquility before the storm, which was not the case a few years ago? What should come will come after all.

Sure enough, after dinner, Tang Mengxuan called Tang Jingming to the study alone, and after taking a closer look, he said, "What I want to say, you must have understood." That said, but now I have to say again, you are still young, you have not finished your studies, and I hope you will quit the army..."

"Father, I have grown up and am now a KPA soldier. There are my ideals and the hopes of the country, so I will never come back. Before Tang Mengxuan finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Tang Jingming. Although he joined the KPA for a few months, he really saw things that he had not seen before.

"Hope? Do you know what the hope of the nation is? A party that fights each other on the battlefield simply because of differences in political opinion is the hope for the future of the country? ”

"Father, this is just your own foolishness. Regardless of anything else, when we were invaded and divided in Tibet, who resisted the British with flesh and blood in Burma and regained the dignity of our nation? When Tang Jingming said this, his face flushed with excitement.

Tang Mengxuan was a little speechless for a while, he was surprised to find that his son had really grown up, and he was quick to think and speak quite eloquently. He really had nothing to say about the war that had ended between the Communist Party and the British, and the facts were clear, it was a war in which one country wanted to colonize and split another, and the colonized nations rose up to fight. In this war against aggression, the Communist Party is a complete hero, or at least a national hero, and he cannot but admit this.

After a pause, Tang Mengxuan continued slowly: "I admit that you are right, my opinion seems to be a bit extreme. But what about the civil war that just ended? It was a war between compatriots, and should the political differences between compatriots have to be resolved by means of war? The fight between hundreds of thousands of people is all Chinese blood. ”

"Father, political differences between parties should be resolved through political consultation, but this must be done by the will of both parties. Have you ever seen a unilateral agreement? Can you guarantee that such a dark and corrupt Beiyang government will give up its power to others? For the first time in so many years, Tang Jingming had gained the upper hand in the confrontation with his father's words, and his heart was quite agitated at this moment.

Seeing his father shaking his head, Tang Jingming smiled slightly, and then said, "Father, let's not talk about politics today, only about family affairs, okay?" ”

Maybe he felt that his face was a little unbearable, after all, he was soft on his son, Tang Mengxuan seemed to be a little annoyed and angry at the moment, so he said in a stiff tone: "Hmph! Okay, go out, go talk to your mother for a while, she has been talking about you a lot in the past two years. ”

Seeing his father, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, Tang Jingming turned around and prepared to leave, but when he arrived at the door, he remembered something and asked, "Father, what's going on with the banner people in the city recently?" ”

When Tang Mengxuan heard this, he frowned, although he had also noticed the abnormality of the banner people in Beijing City in the past few days, but he really didn't know what they wanted.

Seeing his father's expression, Tang Jingming knew what he meant, so he had no choice but to turn around and walk out.

Of course, the Tang family father and son don't know the twists and turns in the abnormal appearance of the flag people, but it doesn't mean that the high-level Communist Party leaders who have been firmly sitting in Zhongnanhai don't know either. The reason why the flag people are like this, in the final analysis, is actually because of two words, poverty.

The laziness and hardship of the banner people are now famous, after all, for hundreds of years, there are only a few people who can put down their face and rely on their skills to find an errand to support their families like Fu Cha'a. There was the "Qing House Preferential Treatment Regulations" before, although they never got a penny, but there is still a thought, now after the Communist Party of China, not only moved Emperor Xuantong out of the Forbidden City, but also abolished the preferential treatment regulations, but even the thoughts were directly cut off to these people. Now, these flag men are not happy. Of course, if you are not happy, you will not be happy, after all, the People's Army is prestigious, and no one in this group wants to be this up-and-coming bird.

However, with the passage of time, Beijing continued to engage in municipal transportation and other construction, and many people in the city, including a few flag people, made a lot of money in these two months because of various reasons such as manpower or selling building materials. At this scene, most of the flag people who just wanted to eat ready-made meals were hot. In comparison, these uncles naturally quit.

So, under the influence and tandem of a group of nobles with ulterior motives, such as Prince Gong Prince Gong Pu Wei, Prince Su Shanqi, and Tie Liang and others, these disgruntled banner people and lazy men decided to come out and make trouble. Of course, they also understand that with the momentum and status of the Communist Party in China, that kind of scattered and ordinary method of making trouble is certainly useless, and now it can only be a large-scale demonstration that can attract the attention of all forces.

Therefore, under the continuous instigation and brainwashing of the people behind them, about 10,000 flag people have stood together. At this moment, these people all feel that if the matter is made big and out of control, and if the major powers are concerned, the Communist Progressive Party government will definitely compromise and pay salaries. After all, the finances of the Communist Party government are different from those of the former Qing Dynasty and Beiyang, and the rich are well known, and spending money to eliminate disasters is also the habitual thinking of the Chinese for thousands of years.
